This is the worst facility I've ever been to. I'm am 16 and I went to pick my father up after him having to take an ambulance to the Emergency room. My dad was experiencing extreme back spasms and could barely move. After his x-rays came out inconclusive they basically kicked him out. They barely gave him medicine for his severe pain. The nurse wouldn't even help him get to the BATHROOM!!! I had to exscort him in there and assist him by myself. The people standing by the doors wouldnt assist me with getting him in. I asked several people for a crutch to make it easier on me and him and they acted like they couldn't provide one for him. This is the worst hospital I've ever been to and I am disgusted with the way we were treated at a facility that's suppose to help the people who pay good money to be taken care of. If I could give this place negative stars I would definitely do so.

"Cheat Death"?? Caromont Health / Gaston Memorial Hospitals motto of "Cheat Death" is inaccurate to say the least. My opinion is they couldn't diagnose a dead animal if you took it there. Once you enter their facility, death surely awaits. Hospital medical staffing is not trained. The RN's, CNA's and Hospitalist are lacking in knowledge and education, using the elderly to "practice" medicine on. The "propaganda" on the hospital TV concerning patient rights and talking with a patient advocate concerning your treatment is false advertisement. Following a complaint I filed on Weds, my spouse was discharged to a rehab the next day, Thurs, without contacting me. He had a fever and was not able to sit up. The 6th floor nursing / CNA staff is a joke.....it's called the NICHE unit for Nurses Improving Care for the HealthCare Elders. It's really Nurses Intentionally Causing Havoc for the Elders. The staff was making fun of some of the patients, laughing about who was going to assist that patient with his personal bathroom needs. I hope this is helpful to others in deciding whether to take your loved one to Gaston Memorial. CMC is my recommendation.
